3 Overview

The Kramer KDS-EN2T and KDS-EN2R are an IP transmitter (host) and receiver

(client) system for HDMI and bidirectional RS-232 signals. The KDS-EN2T

encodes the input signals to an IP stream and the KDS-EN2R decodes it back to

HDMI and RS-232 signals.

The host-client system lets you stream HD content simultaneously to one or more

HDMI acceptors.

The Kramer KDS-EN2T and KDS-EN2R can be used to distribute Full-HD digital

content from multiple sources to more than 200 remote displays on a LAN without

distance limitations from the 1080p source devices, while sustaining picture and

sound quality.

In addition, the KDS-EN2T/KDS-EN2R features:

• Flexible and scalable HDMI 1080p video broadcasting with Gigabit Ethernet LAN and no distance limitations

• JPEG 2000 compression technology to send a visually lossless HD image and digital audio over IP

• Point to point, Multicasting and broadcasting architecture, with limited bandwidth load (each channel requires about 55Mbps)

• Up to nine transmitters and 81 receivers that can be included in a video wall system

• HDMI signal transmissions over one CAT 5e, CAT 6 or CAT 7 cable

• Group ID setup via DIP-switches or PC application

• Bidirectional RS-232 Control Pass-through to control HDMI display from the host (transmitter) side

• Multicasting groups with Gigabit Ethernet switch (requires IEEE 802.1Q VLAN and IGMP functions)

• System setup via the IP-HDMI PC application and the Web pages

• A compact DigiTOOLS® enclosure with a built-in mounting plate for versatile installation

4.3.1 Video/Graphic Mode

Press the EDID button on the KDS-EN2R to toggle between the Video mode and

the Graphic mode. The selection is immediately saved to flash memory and is

saved to the non-volatile memory after rebooting the unit. In the:

• Video Mode, the FW automatically trades off the bandwidth with higher video quality to ensure a smooth video playing experience

• Graphic Mode, the FW fixes the trade-off to ensure the best possible graphic/text viewing experience

4.3.2 Anti Dither

Press and hold (for 3 sec) the EDID button on the KDS-EN2R to cycle between

the anti-dithering modes (1 bit, 2 bit or Off).

Dithering introduces random noise to the signal that creates a half-tone effect so

that the output image appears smoother. Dithering creates a problem for low

bandwidth video compression even for a static source display.

To overcome the dithering problem, set the anti dither (EDID) button to 1bit or 2

bit. Set to Off if the source content does not generate a dithered output.

4.3.3 Update EDID

The KDS-EN2T is shipped with a factory default EDID. We recommend updating

this EDID to that of the acceptor connected to the KDS-EN2R. This EDID update

ensures optimum performance according to the output resolution of the connected

HDMI acceptor.

To manually update the EDID:

1. Connect the new HDMI acceptor to the KDS-EN2R.

2. Press and hold the EDID button (for about 6 to 8 sec) on the KDS-EN2R to

update the EDID.

The EDID is updated and stored on the KDS-EN2T.

Note that in a multicast setup (see Section 5.2

i) it is important to

update the EDID while the HDMI acceptor with the lowest resolution is connected. Once the update is complete, this EDID information will be saved to the non-volatile memory of the KDS-EN2T.

10 KDS-EN2T, KDS-EN2R - Defining the KDS-EN2T and KDS-EN2R

4.3.4 Reset to Factory Default + FW Update

Press and hold (for 6 to 8 sec) the MODE button on the KDS-EN2T/KDS-EN2R to

reset to the factory default and upgrade the firmware.

You can upgrade the firmware via the Web Pages or the IP HDMI Utility program

(see Section 6.4.1.2

Firmware update file name will be: Transmitter: webfwh.bin; Receiver: webfwc.bin

).

4.4 Setting the Multicast Group ID

When hosts and clients are assigned the same multicast group ID number, all the

clients in the group will decode the stream from the same host. You can set up to

16 groups either via the GROUP ID DIP-switches or the IP-HDMI Utility software

(see Section 6.2

). For example, to set the group ID to 1, you have to set DIP 1, 2

and 3 to OFF and DIP 4 to ON.

The application software group ID setup overrides the DIP-switch group ID setup. i

KDS-EN2T, KDS-EN2R - Connecting the KDS-EN2T/KDS-EN2R 11

5 Connecting the KDS-EN2T/KDS-EN2R

You can set the KDS-EN2T/KDS-EN2R units in various configurations. For

example:

• A single transmitter/receiver setup (see Section 5.1

• A Multicasting setup (see

)

Section 5.2

• A video wall setup (see

)

Section 5.3

5.1 KDS-EN2T/KDS-EN2R Transmitter Receiver Setup

)

You can use the KDS-EN2T HDMI to IP Transmitter (see Section 4.1) and the

KDS-EN2R to configure an HDMI-to-IP Transmitter and Receiver system (see Figure

4).

Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your KDS-EN2T/KDS-EN2R. After connecting your KDS-EN2T/KDS-EN2R, connect its power and then switch on the power to each device.

To connect the HDMI-to-IP transmitter and receiver system as shown in the example

in Figure 4, do the following:

1. On the KDS-EN2T, connect an HDMI source (for example, the HDMI output

from a media player) to the HDMI IN connector.

2. On the KDS-EN2R, connect the HDMI OUT connector to an HDMI acceptor

(for example, a projector).

3. Connect the LAN RJ-45 connector on the KDS-EN2T to the LAN RJ-45

connector on the KDS-EN2R using an Ethernet cable.

4. On both the KDS-EN2T and the KDS-EN2R, connect the 5V DC power

adapter to the power socket and connect the adapter to the mains electricity

(not shown in Figure 4).

5. If required, connect a PC and/or controller to the RS-232 9-pin D-sub

Connector (see Section 5.4

i

) to control the HDMI acceptor, for example.

Figure 4: Connecting the HDMI to IP Transmitter and Receiver System

KDS-EN2T, KDS-EN2R - Connecting the KDS-EN2T/KDS-EN2R 13

5.2 Multicasting Setup

In the multicasting setup, one host (transmitter) and multiple clients (receivers)

share the same group ID (see Section 4.4 and 6.2Section

The multicast addresses used range from 255.0.0.XXX to 255.0.1.XXX, where

XXX stands for the group ID as set by the DIP switch (see

), so that all of the

clients decode the same stream (encoded by the host), without creating additional

load on the network.

Section 4.4

The example illustrated in

).

Figure 5 shows a multicast setup including one host

connected to several clients sharing the same group ID. The host transmits the

HDMI and RS-232 content to all the clients that share its group ID; other clients

that are connected to the same Ethernet switch will not receive this content. Other

hosts, with different group IDs can co-exist in the system (for example, a video

wall setup, see Section 5.3).

14 KDS-EN2T, KDS-EN2R - Connecting the KDS-EN2T/KDS-EN2R

Figure 5: Multicasting Application

An additional KDS-EN2T host can be connected to the Ethernet switch and set to

group ID 4. This host can transmit HDMI and RS-232 content to KDS-EN2R

clients that are also set to group ID 4.

KDS-EN2T, KDS-EN2R - Connecting the KDS-EN2T/KDS-EN2R 15

5.3 Video Wall Setup

A video wall consists of several screens that are tiled together to form one very

large display.

The video wall configuration consists of one or more transmitters that connect to a

series of receivers that make up the video wall. Each display is connected to the

output of one receiver. Usually a video wall setup would include several

transmitters (one dedicated transmitter per row).

Using a single transmitter for a video wall will usually result in lower video quality

and tearing.

The KDS-EN2T and KDS-EN2R units are each defined by their location in the

video wall layout. Each KDS-EN2T is assigned a row number and defined by row

number and position in the row. The position definition is unique and is usually

defined once during the basic setup.

To simplify the video wall configuration process, the first host of the first row of the

video wall is assigned to be the control portal. The control portal controls the other

transmitters and receivers in the setup via the RS-232 closed loop chain (see

Figure 6). The RS-232 chain lets transmitters communicate with each other even if

they are not part of the same LAN.

To configure a video wall (for example, a 3x3 video wall), do the following:

1. Connect an HDMI source (for example, a media player) to the INPUT of a

distribution amplifier (for example, the Kramer VM-4Hxl, 1:4 HDMI

Distribution Amplifier).

2. On the distribution amplifier, connect the outputs (for example, three outputs

on the Kramer VM-4Hxl) to the HDMI IN connectors of three KDS-EN2T

units, respectively.

3. Connect the LAN RJ-45 connector on each KDS-EN2T unit to the input

RJ-45 connector on an Ethernet switch.

4. Connect the output RJ-45 connectors on the Ethernet switch to nine

KDS-EN2R units (each KDS-EN2T unit connected to the Ethernet Switch,

distributes the signal to three KDS-EN2R units).

16 KDS-EN2T, KDS-EN2R - Connecting the KDS-EN2T/KDS-EN2R

5. Connect the 9-pin D-sub Y-cable to the three KDS-EN2T units, as illustrated

in Figure 6.

Figure 6: Connecting the RS-232 Y-cable

6. Set the group ID via the DIP-switches. For example, set the group ID of the:

KDS-EN2T transmitting to the first row and the receivers positioned in the first row to 1

KDS-EN2T transmitting to the second row and the receivers positioned in the second row to 2

KDS-EN2T transmitting to the third row and the receivers positioned in the third row to 3

7. If required, on each unit connect the 5V DC power adapter to the power

socket and connect the adapter to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure

7)

8. Set the wall application for each unit via the IP HDMI Utility software and/or

Web pages (see Section 6

9. Reboot all devices. Ensure that all remote displays and all network cables

are connected correctly (a video source is required at this step).

).

5.4 Connecting to the KDS-EN2T and KDS-EN2R via RS-232

The RS-232 port can be used to:

• Control a peripheral machine in the transmitter receiver setup (when KDS-EN2T is connected directly to one KDS-EN2R), see Section 5.1 or the multicast setup, see 5.2Section

• Chain KDS-EN2T hosts in a video wall setup, see
